7 Classic French Fashion Outfits Parisians Wear on Repeat

Pre-Instagram, we might’ve had to rely on fashion week for our street style roundups, but when it comes to experiencing global style in 2024, we’re spoilt for choice. Not only does social media allow us to see the outfits of people on every continent at the click of a button, but it also gives us a chance to reassess the sartorial tropes that have developed around certain countries.

One of the most well-worn fashion stereotypes has to be that of the French girl. This classic French fashion type is characterised by expensive basics, Breton tops, silk shirts and tasteful yet subdued occasionwear—all of which is embodied by the likes of Carine Roitfeld and Emmanuelle Alt.

While there are many who still love the traditional, pared-back aesthetic, Instagram proves that it is no longer representative of the average fashion-loving Parisienne, with influencers such as Sylvie Mus and Ellie Delphine from Slip Into Style bringing a more experimental approach to the table while still managing to be chic at all times, of course.
